How Do I Get the Most from My Pastor's Sermons?

In this addition to the Church Questions series, Gunner Gundersen gives readers practical advice on listening well during sermons so they can get the most from their pastor’s preaching as they hear from God’s word.

This Brief Guide Explains How Listening Well During Sermons Energizes Spiritual Growth and Local Church Life

While biblical preaching is vital for spiritual growth, it’s also essential that churchgoers “take care then how you hear” (Luke 8:18), being attentive to God’s precious word. A few simple habits will prepare you to hear from the Lord each week and get the most from your pastor’s teaching.

In this addition to the Church Questions series, Gunner Gundersen explains that listening in church isn’t a passive experience but an urgent activity. Drawing from Scripture and personal examples, he shares practical advice for preparing for church, addressing distractions, interpreting Scripture, discussing sermons as a community, and more. This short, approachable guide will encourage your church to treasure God’s word by listening faithfully during sermons.
